Right, Graeme, there ARE such signs.  That's an important chunk of truth, right there.  Another one, more germane to where it "goes south" (sorry if that insults those in the Southern Hemisphere, it isn't meant to) is "but where does this mountain range END?"  The foothills...one trails off as one describes a steppe or plateau or "flat range" or whatever Aussies call that part of "no longer in the mountains" below that range.  And that isn't a crisp line.  OSM likes crisp lines.  It doesn't seem to like "I can't quite say where this begins and ends" and that's what we have here.
